Semifinals, Friday

Final, Saturday

First round, Wednesday

The Horned Frogs surged to a 16-point halftime lead before being outscored 41-28 in the second by the Cowboys. TCU needed a late three-pointer to take a one-point lead with 16 seconds to go and then held on to advance.

Entering Wednesday night’s game, West Virginia had last won away from Morgantown on Nov. 18 and had gone 4-15 since the calendar ticked to 2019. Perhaps the postseason can be a fresh start for Bob Huggins’s Mountaineers. They’re 1-0 so far after a comeback win in the second half against Oklahoma, a team on the NCAA tournament bubble whose résumé wasn’t helped by Wednesday’s loss.
